Chapter 309 - Three Hundred And Nine

A thud was heard as the body behind him fell making Alexis lower the gun with heavy breathing. 

Angelo frowned and looked behind him only to see Julia's fallen form with a bullet pierced through her shoulder as she cried lowly.

He blinked back in shock at what happened. His heart had still thought that Alexis was going to shoot at him and she had.

The love of his life, the only women his Fucked up mind and heart had ever loved had shot at him but only to protect them as it turned out.

"Take her to our clinic." He told the guard. "Make sure to keep her tied and alive in the bed." He ordered. That woman was not dying without what he had in store for her.

They nodded and with a stretcher that arrived after moments they picked her up and left.

He turned to his wife who had a wary expression on her face making him aware of what he felt. He moved closer and hugged her.

When she had raised the gun Alexis had not thought even twice before shooting Julia who had raised her gun to shoot her husband.

It did not matter to her who Angelo was or what he had done, at that moment what she wanted was to save her husband from getting killed. 

The man whom she had attached herself to. 

When he turned to her the gun was on the verge of falling from her hands as he neared her. The fear that he would kill her for hurting his grandmother spiked up even more.

But he came closer only to hug her and buried her in his chest.

"It's okay," he said. "She's not dead. You didn't kill her. She will live with that wound."

At times like these, she wondered how in the world did Angelo know what she wanted to hear the most.

They pulled apart as Agatha came running to them. "The children are up." She informed with a worried expression. 

Both of the parents nodded. "Why don't you go first?" Alexis said to him who looked hesitant to leave her alone. "I need to take a few moments along to myself." She said pointing at herself and he nodded.

"Hurry, please." He nodded and left followed by Agatha.

Alexis watched them leave and when she was sure, she stepped back into the room.

Underneath the gun had been the papers that were sent over by Adams.

Even though she was disturbed by the fact that she had just shot at someone she could not let go of the fact that she had to teach someone a lesson who had been responsible for at all. At have been the final step for the plot.

She took the papers and shredded them. After which she called Elijah.

Silvano was shot and it was found out later because he had fainted.

The man was alone in the kitchen when Julia had found him and she conveniently shot him in the spine for which the doctors feared that he might not ever walk but extensive therapy and treatments could work in the future. 

Julia had taken away the ability to walk, maybe temporarily, from her grandson. 

"I don't care. What I care for is that at least he is alive." Nikita cried and sniffed. Her baby girl was with the nanny as they were in the hospital.

"Don't worry." Alexis hugged her tightly. They had been here for hours at a stretch. "But you must go home and rest. You have given birth just the previous month."

She stood up and handed Nikita some tissue's after which she walked to Angelo was leaning against a wall, stressed as hell. 

"Meet him before leaving?" He nodded and the three walked to a heavily drugged up man.

"How are you?" Nikita cried as she looked at him.

"Baby, rest." He croaked out. "Go . . ."

"I will." She nodded to him, smiling tearfully "But you are okay now, so do not take that stress . ." She sniffed and started to cry again. He was in a hospital bed and all sorts of machines were on him. It was her worst nightmare. 

"Hey," he tapped her cheek very lightly as the other two watched. "Don't worry. This means I get an early retirement which would be full of lavishness." He laughed and even Angelo chuckled. 

"I am going to take her home. She needs to rest. Why don't you call us when Silvano is awake?" Alexis whispered to him? 

He nodded and kissed her forehead, briefly hugging her. "Yes, please. Take care."

She nodded and they left together.

The entire day had been way too hectic to be true. She had shot Julia and then they had been found out that Silvano had been shot in the back.

For minutes it had been like Isabelle getting shot all over again but Silvano had thankfully survived. For now, Nikita and her children were going to stay over until everything had gone back to normal. 

And everyone was informed that Julia was dead. 

By tomorrow as Angelo has said Julia's head would prove that to everyone. 

********

He failed.

Julia was going to die tonight and if he even thought of going against everyone and bringing her back safely to his use he was risking war with the family.

He was crushed in his mind. 

The bottles around him which were laid across the room could tell anyone that he was a boss that was defeated. 

But fuck, who knew that women would be stupid enough to walk into the lion's den with nothing but a spike? 

He sighed and leaned back into the cushioned chair. He was out of tricks for now. 

He shouldn't have trusted that psycho. Even though she was stupid for a don's wife she was clever enough to not reveal everything that she knew and whenever she told him to her advantage. 

He shook his and watched the fire to which he sat next to me. He narrowed his eyes and watched the fire before throwing the contents of his glass inside it. The fire crackled and rose even more. The anger it held was what he had. 

He wanted something and this time failed to get it. 

Fuck it, he thought. 

More opportunities were going to come his way and for sure the three children he had were not going to live for long.
